The Flemish-style gables of Soho: probably responsible for starting my whole interest in architecture. This is the latest incarnation of the Blue Posts Inn on the corner of Berwick and Broadwick Streets.

This lovely tube map cover design is by Tracey Emin, commissioned by Art on the Underground. The artist has drawn the Central Line as a leafy tree limb, branching off and supporting singing birds. I hadn't seen it before yesterday.
